Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou’s hand, which was about to take the paper, paused, and a burst of anger rose in his heart.
He had actually been threatened and warned by this little girl time and time again. It seemed that if he didn’t show his power, he would be treated as a weak official.
Just as County Magistrate Zhou was about to fly into a rage, Zhou Wencai realized that the situation was far from good. He immediately took the paper and said with a laugh, ” Miss Lin, don’t worry. We’re not people who go back on our words. Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word!”
Then, he smiled at his father and said, ” Father, why are you so angry? Miss Lin has always been direct, but she doesn’t have any ill intentions.”
After that, County Magistrate Zhou received a subtle look from his son. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and said in a strange tone, ” alright, Lin girl!”
After the Zhou father and son sent Lin yuelan out, County Magistrate Zhou said to Zhou wencai in a stern voice, ” come here!”
Then, Zhou Wencai made a face and unhurriedly followed County Magistrate Zhou into the study.
The moment County Magistrate Zhou entered the study, he asked sternly, ” Zhou Wencai, tell me, who is the guest at that girl’s house that she can treat me so fearlessly?” The thought of this made him angry.
Such a good opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune was right in front of him. However, in the blink of an eye, it all turned into bubbles. Instead, he was threatened by that wretched girl.
He, Zhou Changsheng, had been an official for so long, but he had never been threatened like this before. This time, he was threatened by a young girl. When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but be angry.
Zhou wencai knew in his heart that his father would definitely continue to pursue the matter.
But …
Zhou wencai pouted his lips. He chuckled and asked, ” father, who are you asking about? If you’re asking about that girl, you already know the answer. She’s the legendary jinx of the Lin family Village of Ning An Town, Lin yuelan.”
“Shut up!” County Magistrate Zhou’s face darkened as he shouted, ” don’t try to fool around with me.”
Only then did Zhou Wencai turn serious. He said sternly, ” father, I promised them that I really wouldn’t tell. Otherwise …” Otherwise, it would bring great trouble to the Zhou family. He did not say it out loud, but he believed that his father would naturally understand.
However, County Magistrate Zhou didn’t want to be threatened by someone he didn’t know about. This time, he had to get to the bottom of it. County Magistrate Zhou said in a deep voice, ” there are only you and me here. So what if you told me? Who else would know? ”
Zhou Wencai’s expression turned rather helpless when he saw how determined his father was.
It seemed that he had no choice but to tell his father today.
However, when he thought of Jiang Zhennan’s identity and the warning he had received from Lin yuelan in the Lin family Village, he did not dare to take this matter as a joke.
However, he quickly thought of something.
Then, he carefully asked his father, ” father, did you notice the young man who came with Lin yuelan? ”
County Magistrate Zhou said disapprovingly, ” so what if I noticed? Although he has an extraordinary aura, he is just a farmer.”
Zhou Wencai carefully asked, ” then, father, did you notice what the person’s name was when Lin yuelan introduced him to your son? ”
“Nan Zhenjiang?” As soon as County Magistrate Zhou finished speaking, he immediately felt that something was wrong. “Nan Zhenjiang, Nan … Zhenjiang, Jiang Zhennan … Jiang … Zhennan ”
Jiang Zhennan, the defender-general of the state?
Then, he widened his eyes in shock and disbelief. He stuttered nervously and asked in disbelief, ” could it be? ”
Zhou wencai immediately placed a finger between his lips and said anxiously, ” Shh, father. It’s good that you know. You must not say it out loud.”
After County Magistrate Zhou confirmed the answer, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Jiang Zhennan was also a jinx in the capital, he was still the defender-general of the Long Yan Kingdom and had won the favor and trust of the Emperor.
In the capital, he could be said to be the Lord of thousands, second only to one person. Many princes and grandsons wanted to win him over to become their bargaining chip for the throne.
It was a pity that Jiang Zhennan was indifferent to everyone except the current Emperor. Even the third Prince, who had the highest prestige and the highest hope of being the Crown Prince, was completely ignored by him. The ministers, princes, and concubines were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
But how did such a person suddenly appear in the Lin family Village?
County Magistrate Zhou could not understand.
He asked in confusion, ” Wen ‘Er, how can you be so sure that he’s that person? Didn’t he always wear a ferocious silver mask in the legends? And if it was him, why would he be in the Lin family Village and become Lin yuelan’s guest?”
Zhou wencai shook his head with a bitter smile and said, ” father, I don’t know. When I first saw him in the Lin family Village, he was indeed wearing a silver mask and had a murderous aura. Moreover, it seems that they didn’t hide anything from me. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have appeared in front of me. After that, they gave me a warning. Father, I can’t let you gamble with our Zhou family.”
County Magistrate Zhou finally understood why his son had hidden this from him and why Lin yuelan was so arrogant and fearless towards him, a County Magistrate. With such a powerful backer, who did she need to be afraid of?
“But why would he appear in the Lin family Village? ” County Magistrate Zhou was eager to know the answer.
Zhou Wencai shook his head and said, ” I don’t know!”
